I'm Getting Better

I ain't gettin' older
I'm gettin' better
I ain't gettin' older
I'm gettin' better
Now that I'm here
And I'm on my way
I got something
I wanna say
Stand here saying
Ain't I clean?
Lend me your best ear
Here's what I mean
I ain't gettin' older
I'm gettin' better
I ain't gettin' older
I'm gettin' better
I started out
A long time ago
Shy and bashful
And a little bit slow
But at 17
I was gettin' warm
At 28
I was just like the song
I ain't gettin' older
I'm gettin' better
Ain't gettin' older
I'm gettin' better
39
I showed you a lot
And at 42
I was still runnin' hot
And at 49
You think I slowed down, uh-uh
52
Still the man about town
Ain't gettin' older
I'm gettin' better
Ain't gettin' older
I'm gettin' better
Let's show it to 'em, fellas
Here it is now
That's all right, fellas
Let's try it again
One more time
Ow!
53
I still was clean
And at 54
Still on the scene
55
Funkest man alive
And at 56
Don't handle no jive
Turning gray
Gettin' a little bit bald
I look back on life
With love for all of y'all
I ain't gettin' older
I'm gettin' better
I ain't gettin' older
I'm gettin' better
Listen to me
Oh!
It's all right
Oh!
Feel all right
I'm like good whiskey
I mellow with age
I'm like good whiskey
I mellow with age
Like ol' man river
Keep rollin' along
Like ol' man river
Rollin' along
Like ol' man river
Keep rollin' along
Like ol' man river
Rollin' along
I ain't gettin' older
I'm gettin' better now
Like ol'...
I'm gettin' better now
Oh!
I'm gettin' better
I'm gettin' better now
I'm gettin' better
I'm gettin' better
Listen to this right here, y'all
Uh-huh
Uh-huh
Uh-huh
Uh-huh
Uh-huh
Uh-huh
Uh-huh
Uh-huh
Ow!
I ain't gettin' older
I'm gettin' better now
I ain't gettin' older
I'm gettin' better
Feelin' mightier, y'all
Feelin' mightier, y'all
Feelin' mightier, y'all
Feelin' mightier, y'all
My muscles are standin'
My muscles are standin' high
My muscles are standin'
My muscles are standin' high
Oh!
I ain't gettin' older
I'm gettin' better now
I ain't gettin' older
I'm gettin' better now
Listen
Oh, ho
Hey, hey
Hey
Hey, hey
Got to repeat a little bit, now listen
At 53
I still was clean
And at 54
Ha
Still on the scene
55
Funkest man alive
56
Can't stand no jive
Oh!
I ain't gettin' older
I'm gettin' better now
I ain't gettin' older
I'm gettin' better now
I'm turning gray
Gettin' a little bit bald
Look back on life
With love for all of y'all
That means everybody
I ain't gettin' older
Gettin' better
I ain't gettin' older
I'm gettin' better
Everybody hear me now
